Hughes To Miss Stanley Game

28th August 2006

Lincoln City will be forced into a double midfielder change for Friday's home match against Accrington Stanley.

Already, it was known that Ryan Amoo would miss the game through a suspension incurred at his previous club Barrow Town.

Now, it has been confirmed that midfielder Jeff Hughes has been called-up to the Northern Ireland Under-21 squad. The Northern Ireland Under-21 squad face Germany's Under-21 side in a vital European Under-21 Championship qualifier. This is a must win match for Northern Ireland following a previous qualification defeat earlier this month in Romania.

The Northern Ireland Under-21 squad in full: McGovern (Celtic), Tuffey (Partick); Ward (Glentoran), McArdle (Sheff Wed), Callaghan (Ballymena), McCaffrey (Hibernian), Hughes (Lincoln), Buchanan (Bury); Gilfillan (Peterhead), Evans (Man Utd), Clarke (Newry), Scullion (Dungannon), Turner (Sligo), Ward (Torquay); Thompson (Linfield), Shiels (Hibernian), Stewart (unattached), Smylie (Livingston).
